Fiddler On The Roof – the anime

I’m not a very traditional person, but if I do have one comfort in my Jewish background it is probably Fiddler On The Roof. I just love the movie, I love the song, i love Chaim Topol. A while ago i participated in a Anime drawing contest and my choice was to draw an Anime-like version of Fiddler…


Neil Gaiman inspiration

If you are an aspiring artists, you probably watched the video of Neil Gaiman’s commencement speech at the university of arts (you did not? Go watch!). Like practically everybody else, i fell in love with Gaiman’s vibe. I like to go on Youtube and listen to him talk. Recently I listened to readings from parts of his books, and…


why I NEVER go to the cinema

  watch out, nasty people who text in theaters! Elijah is coming for you! this was written in responds to a tweet by AMC theaters, that wrote that they will forbid texting in most of their theaters. I think the allow\forbid texting turned into a wider discussion, but honestly i don’t care. I already have my opinion on movie theaters and…

I hit my 30’s, and surprise! nothing changed. I still admire glitter, and now I own a…

on the way to a coloring book

Here is a peek to the process of creating an illustration for a coloring book. I’m thinking of getting PenTool Sai and use it instead of illustrator for this project.

Nooooo~! The holidays season is over! But the inspiration collected during this colorful season moves on to the new year with me. It might be the right time to mention that I live in a place where Christmas is not celebrated, and New Year is a whole different story which takes place in September. Only in…
